Helmed by Taken director Pierre Morel, Daisy Ridley is set to head to Brisbane on the Gold Coast of Australia (aka Fantha Down Under country) in spring 2026 to shoot The Good Samaritan, from an original screenplay from Rambo: First Blood screenwriter Matthew Ian Cirulnick. The film will see Ridley star as entrepreneur Rosalind Carver, who along with her husband save a wounded man but instead get pulled into a deadly conspiracy.

“When successful entrepreneur Dr. Rosalind Carver (Ridley) and her husband Matt rescue a wounded man drifting off the coast of Indonesia, they believe they’re saving a life – not stepping into a deadly conspiracy. Within hours, their yacht vanishes, Matt is abducted, and paradise turns into a trap. Hunted by pirates and imprisoned by corrupt officials, Rosalind’s only hope lies in Sean Fuller, a private military contractor whose motives are as mysterious as his past. Together, they must navigate a maze of deceit and violence in a land where no one can be trusted.”
